I know this question was already asked about 200mg, but I was wondering if there was a difference when raised to 400mg. I take 200mg twice daily for my epilepsy, so I can't decrease it at all. I have a 9 month old, and at 2 weeks old (when I was breastfeeding) she developed a rash so I asked her pediatrician if it was a normal one. I was worried that it was a side effect from the Lamictal. He said it was a normal rash but he suggested I stop breastfeeding for the time being. He suggested switching to a more proven "safe" epilepsy/breastfeeding medicine, but I'd been on Lamictal for 6 years at that point, so I wasn't comfortable switching medicine and risking a seizure. So I just stopped breastfeeding cold-turkey. Now, we're planning on trying for our second baby soon, and after doing some more research it seems that Lamictal is safer than I thought. I'm really really hoping to breastfeed all future children so I wanted to ask this as soon as possible. Thank you!
Also, does taking Folic Acid help balance out the medicine?
